Interesting,,,
Micheal bought “Team Green”
in 2003. Kim n’BAZ’ Green
Owned it when I left in 2000 having been in Rob Edward’s group, who is still on Board. The Green Brothers were Big F1 fans
from Australia as were several on the Team.
Just wondering the Draw to
F1 besides money and where’s the GREENS?

I don’t know. America has screwed up just about all professional sports. NASCAR and Indy Car is FUBAR, NHRA is on the way with 4 lane racing.

this isn’t worth a vanity thread but i’ll post it here

i just got banned for life from the Daily Mail...

i have been trying since i got on ~6months ago and they won’t tell me which post did it but it’s not the same date as my last post

i’d been hitting all the threads wi democRAT on every deserved thread

democRAT-gun violence, democRAT-murder/ etc. etc. etc.

replacing prince harry wi Googly

to the point some others have used them too,i was trying to get it trending

i think it was something about heelsup harris though

anyway, it was fun as it lasted... 8^)

Off topic from your post, UT how the heck did Hamilton come from dead lat, 1 1/2 minutes down from the ,ast place driver at the time, all the way back to 5’th in the Spain race? Had he not had the flat on first ,ap, he woulda been so far ahead out front thst noone could have caught him evidently. Way further ahead than whatshis name was before his car lost
Power.

Are the other drivers that much worse that hamilton? Or is his car that much faster tha. Everyone else’s? That was a massive deficit right from the beginning- a minute and a half down from last place car. Something just doesn’t seem right.

The new cars are a disaster. They handle like crap. They are too wide for most of their tracks. There is way too much technology to fail (and it does).

Watching a procession of cars that break down isn’t fun. Will there be any passing in Monaco? I’ll watch, but the Indy cars are a fraction of the cost and are faster to boot.

oh i forgot to check how many DNF’s- I know a couple people spun- his pit stops were really good- but still- he had over a minute and half - even more really- to make up- i don’t think they had a caution did they? (i fell asleep during part of the race and didn’t bother rewinding to check- dang sleep apnea makes me do that sometimes- )
